The Gordian knot is cut. Messieurs les
Capitalists, make this your "Plan of
Campaign" and it will make you a rep
utation that will last forever, and, may
hap, triile longer. Let the parents eat
the children, and the children return
the favor by partaking of the parents.
That's the solution of the problem. Then
shall that long-oyerdue penny steamboat
come up the Thames to the Old Swan
Pier, having on board Macaulay's partic-
ular friend, the New Xealander, who,
disembarking, and mounting one of the
broken arches of London Bridge, shall
sketch in his pocket book the ruins of
city whose late inhabitants, following
capitalist advice, realized the legend of
the Kilkenny cats, and ate themselves
off the face of the earth
But now" twas ever thus - Just as
we have so satisfactorily disposed of this
difficulty another unfortunate obstacle
presents itself Dealing with the theory
in the air, we had forgotten practice ON
the earth. We have arranged that the
big ones shall eat the little ones and the
little ones the big. Now, this unchang-
ing, invariabIe bill of fare-meat, meat,
meat, ever meat, and nothing else but
meat-may suit the little ones. They are
not likely to exercise the Englshman's
prerogative of grumbling but will the
big ones long stand it? Says Mark

in monotint the Diet of the Future, we
have failed to provide for the contingent
cy that the "big ones" we are consider
ing may in time "kick' against the
'damnable iteration" of little one" for
breakfast, for luncheon, for dinner, for
supper, and-to vary the monotony, and
as a slight change-for between meals.
A menu which commences, continues.
and concludes with the single item,
"Roast little one Ia nothing partic-
ular," can scarcely be said to possess
many elements and permanent attraction.
IL is very much calculated, in time, to
pail upon the least epicurian of palates.
As a complete course of diet for genus
homo, it lacks the one essential quality
of variety. Animal plus vegetable food
forms not only satisfying but varied
diet; but our new dietary directors may
safely be challenged to indicate the vari-

the death Of Col. Robert N. Scott, Of that
regiment, says: "Endeared to him by long
and intimate association from the bright
youth Of eighteen in San Francisco, through
his early manhood and mature years, to the
sudden end of his days IN Washington, the
death this distinguished officer is keenly felt
and deeply mourned by the colonel Of the
regiment. Inheriting from his Scotch
Covenanter ancestry the admirable traits of
that race and faith, blended with the in
fuence uponShis character Of his California
education and associations, and gifted, like
his reverend and distinguished father, with
brightness Of intellect, amiability of dis
position, kindness Of heart, and geniality of
humor, Col. Scott's success in life and In
his profession was assured from his first en-
trance into the service. He soon attracted
the notice of his superiors In the army, and
eminent soldiers, like Buchanan, TIalleck,

ONE ROAD THROUGH LIFE.
Marriage of MIR. E. Sutherland and
Miss Ella waIling.

Miss Ella Wailing.
An attractive wedding took place last
evening at $50 o'clock at the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, the Rev. +. d.
Power, d. D., officiating. The bride was
Miss Ella Walling, formerly of Kentucky,
and the groom, Mr.. T.. Sutherland, formerly
Of Illinois, both now Of this city. The
music was rendered by the celebrated musi-
clan, Prof BiscbofT. The bride and groom
entered the church unattended by ushers
The bride wore dress Of white brocaded
velvet and plain satin, the waist and train
being OF velvet over a white satin skirt
The waist cut V shape, with a "Queen
Elizabeth" collar filed In with silk lace,
which extended down the waist In double
cascade amid orange blossoms. The sleeves
were cut short and filed In with lace. The
velvet train hung In rich folds perfectly
plain, with the exception of crepe quill
Ing around the edge. The skirt was
pleated on both sides, aud formed V
shaped front. The entire front wss GOV.
cred with tulle, pulled full, giving 1t a
beautifully soft lacey appearance. na
Here and there between the folds Of the
tulle nestled sprays Of orange blossoms and
smilax. The effect was superb. Filled In
on the right side of the tulle and orange
blossoms was double cascade OF deep silk
lace from the waist to the bottom OF the
skirt. On the left side was spray of Cape
Jessamine reaching from the waist to the
bottom Of the train. Around the bottom
Of the skirt was narrow quilting Of white
satin. A bridal veil, caught in the hair
with crescent pin and orange blossoms,
falling In fancy folds to the edge Of the
train, completed the costume. The only
ornaments worn by the bride were a pearl
necklace and diamond earrings.
The orange blossoms came direct from
Florida, especially for the occasion. The
bride presented an unusually handsome
appearance. Mr.. and Mrs. Sutherland re-
turned to the BRIDES residence, and left on
the 10 p. m. train for an eastern trip.
Among those present were number OF
well.known members of the bar.
